Is this movemail from Emacs, or from then GNU Mailtutils package?  I
think it's the latter, in which case the error means you are not using
movemail correctly or something (I have no experience with movemail,
sorry).

One question I have to ask is why do you use 995 as the port, while
your email setup uses different ports?

Another questions is why are you using jindam.vani@disroot.org as
username instead of just jindam.vani (since the host is specified
after that anyway)?

If the above doesn't help, I suggest to ask this question on the GNU
Mailutils list, since the problem pertains to that package, not to
Emacs per se.
